Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, Liu Bowen stood up and said:

"There are also juniors in our clan who are about to enter the ranks, and they want to ask the adults for leave and advice, which is the knowledge of helping the victims."

"I hope you will give me advice."

Hearing this, Li Jin glanced at these people for the first time.

Businessmen who know that the children of their clan are not ordinary people.

However, after looking at the faces of several people, Li Jin felt that these people seemed to be rich and noble.

Queen Ma is graceful and luxurious, Zhu Yuanzhang is extraordinary, and Liu Bowen is elegant and elegant, these people don't look like businessmen.

But these have nothing to do with Li Jin, since they are asking for their own heads, then I will explain them to these people.

"Since you sincerely ask for advice, this official will give you some guidance."

"The official asked you, who are the relief food for?"

"This still needs to be asked, naturally it is eaten by the disaster victims."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Jin with mentally retarded eyes.

Li Jin ignored Zhu Yuanzhang and continued:

"Since it's for the victims of the disaster, what's the problem with mixing some sand into it?"

Li Jin said it as it should be, but Zhu Yuanzhang and the three of them looked at him in shock.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, his expression at this moment was eager to go up and bite Li Jin twice, Zhu Yuanzhang roared angrily:

"Aren't the victims of the disaster the people of the Ming Dynasty? Aren't the victims human? Is the sand something for people to eat? ”

Li Jin's face was still light and light, and he said lightly:

"Can a victim still be considered a human being?"

"What did you say?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened angrily, and he looked at Li Jin in disbelief.

Even Queen Ma, who had the most gentle temperament, slowly became fierce in her eyes when she looked at Li Jin.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was eager to kill himself, Li Jin explained commonplacely:

"A person who is dying of starvation can no longer be counted as a human being, that is, an animal."

"As long as they can live, let alone rice porridge mixed with sand, even soil, they dare to eat it."

When Liu Bowen heard Li Jin's words, he finally couldn't help but mock:

"It's really shocking that these words came from the mouth of a county order."

Li Jin ignored Liu Bowen's ridicule and said loudly:

"Of course you're shocked."

"You are businessmen, of course you don't understand the suffering of the people, let alone understand what the victims need?"

"Have you ever seen a person who eats Guanyin soil and dies because he is hungry?"

"Have you ever seen the tragedy of changing children and eating them?"

"All the victims need is a bite to eat, and they don't care what the bowl tastes like."

"They only care if this bowl of food fills their stomachs."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who has experienced countless hardships, of course knows that what Li Jin said is true.

After all, at the beginning, his parents and brother were starved to death because of a bowl of food.

However, he still couldn't accept Li Jin's mixing of sand into the relief grain, which did not treat the victims as human beings at all.

"But why do you have to mix sand into it when you're already going to give them a bowl to eat?"

"Wouldn't it be superfluous to let them, the victims, eat sand every day?"

Li Jin shook his head and said:

"A few years ago, when this official first came to Shanghai County, there were no more than 1,000 households here, and no more than 10,000 acres of land."

"The white bones are exposed in the wilderness, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, which can be described as extremely desolate."

"At that time, Shanghu County was clear, and the official decided to open a warehouse to release grain in order to recruit displaced people."

"But the official found that after the official opened the warehouse and released grain, there were not many victims who could be relieved."

"Do you know why?"

This time it was Zhu Yuanzhang's turn and others to be circled, and several people shook their heads.

"Because after knowing that the official uniform distributed free food, those people who originally had surplus food also came to receive relief food."

"The official didn't have much relief food in the first place, and all these people who were not victims of the disaster came to receive food."

"Then how does the official recruit displaced people and give relief to the victims?"

"So, the official issued an order, that is, to let all the relief points mix all the relief porridge with sand."

"This is what allows the official to recruit more displaced people and cultivate more fields."

"It is precisely because of this that Shanghai has such a grand scene."

Queen Ma was a little puzzled after hearing this, what does this land reclamation have to do with the sand mixed in the disaster relief grain?

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized and said:

"You're saying that the relief food is for the real victims, and if you mix sand into it, only those who are dying of starvation will come to eat it."

"And those who don't need to be given money will definitely not be able to eat this rice porridge, so that the real victims can be screened out."

"This kind of charity porridge can really be fed to the kind of people who really need it."

"Not only do we screen out the hardest-hit people, but we also save food to help you recruit more people."

"Clever, really clever."

After Zhu Yuanzhang figured it out, he began to appreciate Li Jin again.

Talented and flexible, this Li Jin can be regarded as a talent.

Queen Ma was still a little puzzled and said:

"The people are simple, even if there are a few people who take food, they won't eat too much."

"Because of a few people, it's a bit inappropriate to mix sand into food, right?"

When Li Jin heard this, he began to say:

"The heart is like water, how deep. The people's hearts are like smoke, how chaotic! ”

"The people are all a group of people, everyone is selfish, they will make their own little calculations, and they are all people who like to be greedy for small things."

"When a common people can get something for nothing, and you turn a blind eye, then there will be a second, a third."

"Until all the people will follow and eat the unearned bread."

"Only when relief food is turned into food rations that must be eaten in order to survive will these people and disaster victims work hard to improve their lives and make their lives better."

"Instead of counting on relief food all the time, eating and waiting for death."

"Only by guiding them to work hard can they have a good life, and only with such an atmosphere can we build a miracle city like Shanghai."

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered the young man he saw at the porridge shed.

Obviously, he belongs to the kind of people who have surplus food at home, but want to be greedy for cheap.

After Li Jin's teaching, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Li Jin really contributed to the current prosperity of Shanghai.

Liu Bowen next to him couldn't help frowning and thinking, feeling that what Li Jin said seemed to be very reasonable, but he always felt that something was wrong.

However, Queen Ma, after hearing Li Jin's words, her impression of Li Jin changed greatly, and she felt that Li Jin was a capable person.

Li Jin saw that it was not too early, and it was also lunch time, and said:

"If you don't have anything else to do, please leave."

"There are a lot of interesting places in Shanghu County, and a few people can walk around."

After speaking, he picked up the teacup and sent off the guests.

....

Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the county office in a trance, feeling that everything he heard today had subverted his cognition.

"Dad, how's it going? So is Li Jin a corrupt official? Shall we transfer troops to arrest this corrupt official? ”

When Zhu Di saw Zhu Yuanzhang coming out, he hurriedly came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side and asked curiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and shook his head again.

Until now, he is a little confused about who this Li Jin is?

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yuanzhang like this, he was suddenly blindsided, nodded and shook his head, is Li Jin a good official or a corrupt official?

wanted to ask again, but was pulled by Queen Ma and told the two of them everything that happened inside.

"Is there such a saying about miserable sand in the porridge?"

Zhu Biao looked at Queen Ma dumbfounded and said:

"This Li Jin is really talented in governing the world."

Zhu Di was also silent at the moment, even if he was a little unaccustomed to Li Jin, but he had to admit that this Li Jin did have two brushes.

Liu Bowen admonished:

"Your Majesty, since we have already met Li Jin, let's go back to Beijing."

Zhu Yuanzhang still refused:

"No, although we have seen Li Jin, we think that this Li Jin is definitely a corrupt official."

"We must seize Li Jin's handle and bring him to justice."

"Find an inn to live in first, let's see how much silver this Li Jin is greedy for in Shanghu County."
